This is exactly the situation where the build should have been fixed rather than rolling the patch out. The fix is so trivial (either forward-declare _postCacheModelChangedNotification or move its definition to before the place it is used) and the build failure is specific to older versions of Xcode.  Rolling out patches with trivial fixes like this seems completely unnecessary.

I would have done that if I had known the solution. But I didn't know, and the patch author or anyone else familiar with Obj-C wasn't present at the time. I even waited for half an hour but it was blocking my work so I had to roll it out.

On a somewhat related note, your r122671 broke mac debug builds:
